Sure does!

If you need a person to test the integrity of your pedastals, i have the guy!!

This guy can take out a pedastal anchored in concrete!!

My boat came with two Todd swivel chairs mounted on the original ice box seat. At first I wasn't sure if they were original, but afer examination, I determined that any good sized person would rip the cover right off the icebox and end up in the splashwell if I took off fast or hit a big wave. Also my feet were dangling above the floor when I sat in one and I'm not short by any stretch of the imagination. So I promptly removed them before my brother-in-law decided to come over and sit in one!!

LMAO - so, CSN - I take it that you and Ed did a little structural stress testing ???

my son is all I need - 17 yrs old, 6'3", 230 lbs. that and soft core, mix well with 4 footers, and ....Oooops, there goes the seat

That whole incident had me thinking about building boxes to position up front, then go with much shorter pedestals, to reduce the torque moment available, reduce the possible stress that could be put on the mounts, but I think doing that over a soft floor is wrong, so I'm going to go ahead and fix the floors first, then we'll see where we go from there.

I missed Newport last year, still glassing - don't want to miss Chatham !!
